Ingredients

• 1 large Hawaiian or other sweet onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 pounds of very ground beef
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 1 tablespoon salt (or to taste)
• 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
• 1 bottle (10 to 12-ounces) barbecue sauce, divided
• 1-1/2 cup oats

Preheat oven to 350° F. Chop onion and garlic to desired size and mix with all ingredients, except oats and barbeque sauce, with your hands. It is helpful if you let the meat rest from the refrigerator before you start. Add half of the sauce and all of the oats and continue to mix well. Form your loaf and put the remaining sauce on top and sides. Bake about 40 minutes.
